About This Collection

The Carl Van Vechten Photographs Collection at the
Library of Congress consists of 1,395 photographs taken by
American photographer Carl Van Vechten (1880-1964) between
1932 and 1964. The bulk of the collection consists of
portrait photographs of celebrities, including many figures
from the Harlem Renaissance. A much smaller portion of the
collection is an assortment of American landscapes.
